What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I guess, technically, I'm getting paid to see balls.

Living the dream over here.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

No YOU forgot to order toll tags for new work trucks and now have over $2k bills on 4 vehicles. !!!!

This is not going to be great for my review.

I mean we would have paid 2/3 of that amount anyway, but still a $2.5k error.

Ugh, msbelle. I'm sorry.

{{{Jilli}}} Blurt away.

So, that open position got posted, and I went to look to see what I needed to do to apply and apparently with my old resume on file all I needed to do was click a button. Oops. I'll apply again over the weekend with an updated resume...

I'm validatin credit card statements, and an employee I don't know just became my favorite by noting "A lot of butter, I don't remember why" in his explanation for a receipt. Coded under Culinary Experimental Material, so legit, but funny.

How did you handle the altitude?

With Diamox, I forget the scientific name. It speeds up acclimitization, although the side effect is that you pee a LOT, like constantly. But even with Diamox and 7 days at altitude, getting up to 19,400 ASL was hella hard. I had a headache at the summit, although I didn't get confused or anything.

We did have a couple of people have trouble with the altitude, but we had the meds and the expertise to address it, courtesy of the guides and mybrotherthedoctor. It all worked out. By rights I should be exercising right now, to take advantage of my increased cardiac fitness, but I have a sinus infection and all I want to do is sleeep....

LOL, kind of awesome.

Less awesome: Just saw a Subaru commercial where the voiceover lady is all "I was born in the winter of 77" blah blah she got married after college, had twins, but then they were in a horrible accident in their car, but because it was a Subaru it was All Good...and then it shows her twins, now wearing graduation robes and caps.

SUBARU. I AM 40. I was born in 77. And I would've had to get married and then be pregnant with those twins like a month after graduation, for them to be graduating now?? You couldn't say born in 75, or 73 or something??

Cool! I got a prescription for that when I went to Chile, because we went up to about 14K feet. Luckily we were able to acclimate over a few days, going to like 8 and 10 and 11K first, so I didn't end up taking the diamox. I've never been to 19K but even at 14 you could tell how quickly it tired you out and how thin the air was

High school graduation, though? If the twins are 17/18, she had them at 23.
